Tell them to send you the feet update.

That problem will go away.

It shifts the weight from the front feet to the back feet.  It can also be accomplished by placing a piece of wood 1/8-1/4 inch under the the front feet.  Shifts the weight towards the back.

It's not a 100% guarantee that it will prevent the faceplate from cracking, but it has worked for many.

Here is a link to instructions on how to add the rear feet to the front of the cabinet:
Cracked Face Plate

I recommend adding the extra washers to raise the cabinet. This helps prevent moisture from seeping out of the bottom door seal.
